I just got a 2005 Altima 3.5SE and I am convinced that there is something causing it to have worse than average (read:horrible) gas mileage.
I would like to get an idea of what other Altima owners are experiencing. I'm really only interested in 3.5s but if you have a 2.5 and want to post your mileage, please indicate you own a 2.5 in your post.
Also, I'm Canadian so my numbers are in L/100km not mpg, but I'll convert it.
I'm currently reading 12.8 L/100km (18mpg) after a day of city driving with an average speed of 32km/h (20mph).
I took it out on the highway and got an improved 11.2 L/100km (21mpg).
My dilemma is that the fuel gauge seems to be going down very quickly. I filled it yesterday with $30 which put it 1 tick above half (from empty). I've only driven 43.5km (27 miles) and the needle is already dipped 3-4 ticks below half.
Please give me your input and tell me this isn't normal.
